\since we're such awkward bedfellows

lucky to have been where I have been

fourplay! (: one of two pics I took. the other one's with cheryl kwok!

anyway!

YES I'M GOING TURKEY (:

not for one month (not yet!) but just for 10 days first. would be really cool if I got to go for one month though.

I'm leaving on 8th Nov, back in Singapore on 18th. yep. but first day and last day isn't counted because we're spending the whole day on flights to and from singapore. yep.

speaking of which, the flight isn't a direct one, so we'll have to stop at abu dhabi and transfer ): I hope abu dhabi has a nice airport. maybe not as nice as changi airport, cos expecting an airport to be exactly like changi airport is kinda unreasonable since changi's like the best airport in the world or something right.

I just hope there'll be cafes there or something, so I can stuff myself a little before getting on the plane, I hate airplane food! seriously you just don't feel like eating when you're thousands of feet above the ground. ): and airplane food looks like it just came out of the factory. (which... it.. probably did?? where does airplane food come from, anyway.) I don't know why that revolts me so, considering the fact that every plate of normal food is just as generic as the last one, it just grosses me out.

ha shit I'm freaking pampered. -.-

moving on. went for the trip briefing yesterday at suntec. the guy giving the briefing was super funny, he's got this typical singaporean accent.

zero = jilo "so it costs two two jilo dollars, ah, per person ah" (haha no that's not the total cost, just optional tour cost)
flight = fright "your fright will leave at 11:25pm, prish report at 9:25 hor"

I can't rmb much else, haha.

four things I'm most excited about..

1. skiing!
2. hot air ballooning! :D (possibly, it's the optional tour)
3. blue mosque
4. ice wall thing (maybe not wall, it's just some huge ice formation thing I think)

something I'm not looking forward to AT ALL.

1. bus trip that's gonna last ONE WHOLE DAY D: (BUTTSORREEEEE. times like these I wish I had a PSP ): )

I wonder what kind of food they have there. FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD! besides kebabs and turkish ice cream, those are the two most commercialized turkish foods haha. OOH I WANT HIBISCUS JUICE! I tried it out in egypt the other time, it's just like ribena, only it's exotic :D and it tastes less artificial.

maybe ribena is secretly hibiscus juice in bottles. O.o scam! :O

half my weekend's been spent shopping for winter clothes. I now have one trenchcoat, one scarf, four pullovers, and longjohns. -.- it better be 5degrees there okay. and I really hope it's gonna be winter there! they have snow! I wanna see snow! that's not of the snowcity variety.. -.-

ohyeah I missed

lastly, I thank Him for being so giving. I feel damn lucky okay. just yesterday I was in a state of ecstasy about hotairballooning and I gushed about it to my cousin, and she told me she was so jealous, cos I'm damn lucky that I go on holidays once every year. that kinda subdued me. I'm just lucky my parents like to travel, and they can afford travelling once a year. ): plus this year I went to UK already! that would make turkey my second trip to Europe, and it's not even in a lifetime, it's in a YEAR!

I am a very very lucky girl. and I have much to be thankful to Him for, even if it might not seem like it a lot of the time. should start thinking about what I have instead what I don't have. :S

and I was already planning to go to Europe for my studies. ha. -.- I should really learn how to count my blessings more. ):
